Plug-ins for macOS

Tools that behave like hardware you trust.

The through-line

Measurement is not a separate product

The industry sells you a processor, then sells you a meter to find out what the processor did. StudioZIO puts both on one surface, and makes the honest comparison the default one.

You never have to trust your ears alone

Momentary, short-term and integrated loudness, loudness range, crest factor, sample peak, true peak and stereo correlation update while you work. No second plug-in, no bouncing to check.

Louder is not allowed to win

Gain match levels the bypassed and processed paths before you compare, and delta monitoring plays only what the chain added. Both exist because an unmatched A/B always flatters the louder side, whatever it actually did to the sound.

Controls
GAIN MATCH · DELTA · RESET LUFS

Automation is a first-class surface

Every control is a parameter with a stable identifier, so automation lanes, macro mappings and saved sessions survive updates instead of silently re-binding.

Tempo Delay
32 automatable parameters

Nothing allocates on the audio thread

Bypass is crossfaded rather than switched, so engaging it produces no transient. Filter cutoffs cannot cross and destabilise the loop. These are the parts nobody demos and everybody notices.
